You are correct Ted. The STS-51-1 is the mission name.

It was the Columbia that crashed today in 2003 on STS-107.

I guess age gets the best of us. Could have sworn it was in February but I stand corrected. No matter what it is still a sad day to remember.

Looked back at the email notification of the article. The email was yesterday but the article date was the 28th. Odd. Normally I get the notifications on the same date as published.
